INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Active Under the Favorable Copdi-

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. II.
Good fall weather. easy money market and
a confident feeling regarding the future of bust
ness are the conditions which bringing about
an active, healthy volume of trade. In all de-
partments activity is noticeable. and in most
lines a strong tone to prices. The leather mar
ket. for instance is 6rmer, while the hide market
continues flat. There is more activity East, out
prices do no improve with the activity The
provision market is steady and firm in tone
again, and strong market is looked for from
this on. The impression prevails that the hog
crop is to be light. and this means a firm pro-
vision market. Dry goods men are experiencing
big trade, and prices all lines of goods are
steady and firm. The produce markets, as
naturally they would, weakening with in
creasing receipts 1t could hardly be expected
that the exorbitant prices for many articles
would rule after the crops in all sections of the

which suffered from the drought There are
still some peaches on the market. but they are
not what could be called choice fruit by auy
means. The same is true of pears. while some
very fine apples are offered, and at reasonable
prices. Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, are ar
irving in considerable quantities, and for the
time being prices weak; but potatoes are
good property, and will bring money
doubtless two months later than the present
time The firm tone to the egg market is rather
a surprise, and light are the stocks Carried in
the storage-houses that much higher prices are
assured before the holidays The poultry mar
ket is rather fat the Eastern demand is light
and home consumption is ardly up to the usual
volume. The druggists are having a good trade

The accuracy of aim in the young
toad is similar to the accuracy with
which the young quail or chicken picks
up a grain. A young chicken, having
only its head out of the shell, picked up
a fly that lighted near it. The chicken
must have been practicing hy-catch-
ing in the person of its ancestry for
thousands or millions of years, but
| once had curious proof that the toad
is capable of improvement by practice.
Under beehive | observed for several
successive summers a toad watching for
overloaded bees who failed to reach the
threshold of the hive. No sooner did
they fall to the ground than he snapped
them up. But one day saw he had
lost by some accident his right eye, and
when he struck bee he lost his aim
and picked up dirt from one side of the
bee. He wiped his mouth with his
fore-paw and tried again and again.
The bee generally managed to climb to
the top of some little prominence on
the ground and fly away before the
toad succeeded. The poor fellow was
half starved and grew thin, but | OBJ
served before the summer was ended
he had learned to aim as correctly with
one eye as he used to with two, and
had again recovered his plumpness.-

He's sailed then, and dried.

The particles impure strains out
And sends them ali away.

The Squirrels Highway.

The corn.fleld Joins the shady grove,
The mill stands in the valley;
The miller lived where daily sounds
The cat-birds spiteful sally;
Along the fence across the stream
There is messy byway
That leads up to the slopng caves
And forms squirrels highway.
All summer long we daily hear
A merry, ringing chatter;
The whiskng squirrels storing spols,
With quaint, defiant clatter.
From early dawn to silent night
Their antics never ending,
happy life the gay things live,
Brisk toll and frolic blending.
But still they doubtless have their cares,
Mayhap their share of sorrow;
And, like us, hope for better things
Upon the coming morrow
There is an undertake. to life,
Although 1t may seem like play,
That makes thraldom even felt
Along the squirrels highway. Selected
